[QUOTE="md66948, post: 2251754, member: 54894"] [B]I am going to start reloading for my US Springfield 1884 Trapdoor Cadet Rifle. It is almost a Museum Quality Rifle. I have been looking at videos on UT but I would like to hear actual experiences from members who reload and shoot vintagae 45-70 rifles. My LGS sells 405 grain .459 lead flat tips its coated poly or uncoated. I think I would prefer the uncoated, strait lead with lube. I also have 250 virgin Star Line 45-70 cases and I plan to purchase a set of RCBS Cowboy Dies. I may buy a Lee Crimp Die, I do not like seating and crimping in one step. I am looking at using Trail Boss or 4895 powders. I have heard IMR 4227 maybe a good powder. I will be using several reloading manuals but I like to hear your opions and thoughts about reloading for a vintage US[B]Springfield 1884 Trapdoor[/B].[/B] [/QUOTE]
